From Dr. Michael F. Jacobson, author of The Fast-Food Guide, and Bruce Maxwell, here is a necessary guide for every parent. Part expos, and part handbook, it's an impeccably researched look at kids, diet, government, and the food industry. It explains why the same dietary villains afflicting adults-too much fat, cholesterol, sugar, salt-are equally bad for kids. How big food business develops brand loyalty. How the FCC allows junk food advertisers almost unlimited access to children's programming. But it also explains what you can do about it-and how to get your kids on a healthier track.

WHAT PARENTS MUST KNOW ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN'S UNHEALTHFUL DIETS
Assaulted by television, enticed by fast foods, betrayed by the school cafeteria, the average American child consumes a diet that suffers from the same villains that afflict American adults: too much fat, cholesterol, sugar, and salt.
But now parents can regain control of their children's nutritional health as quickly as the next meal. Impeccably researched throughout, this guide explains:
· The connection between childhood diet and disease
· Good and bad influences on your child's food preferences
· How savvy marketers, government regulators, food corporations, and school administrators fail to protect the young, and what you can do about it
· The five family food commandments
· Strategies for healthy eating in and out of the home. It even offers 12 tips for getting your child to love vegetables.
